Are You Being Served?, Season 1

[Mr. Lucas is busy cleaning the dummy lady's shoe when somebody in black shoes approaches him]

Captain Peacock:
Good morning, Mr. Lucas.

Mr Lucas:
(stands up) Oh, sorry.

[We see that the man in black shoes is Captain Stephen Peacock, the floorwalker]

Captain Peacock:
Am I to understand that you have deserted gentlemen's ready made in favour of the ladies?

Mr Lucas:
Well I'm just giving a helping hand, sir.

Captain Peacock:
Well I'm glad to see that the arrival of the ladies in your territory hasn't caused any bad blood.

Mr Lucas:
Oh no, not from me Captain Peacock.

Captain Peacock:
Mmmm. One wonders whether the arrival of, er, gentlemen's shoes, for instance, would have been treated with the same enthusiasm.

Mrs Slocombe:
Mr. Lucas is doing his best to make us feel at home, Captain Peacock, which is more than can be said for the rest of the department.

Captain Peacock:
Well just a passing phase, Mrs. Slocombe. With your personality, I'm sure you could charm the very birds off the trees.

Mrs Slocombe:
Oh, oh I wouldn't say that.

Mr Lucas:
Neither would I.

Captain Peacock:
And, Lucas, while you're down there, straighten those seams. I hate to see crooked seams.

Mr Lucas:
Yes, Mr. Peacock.

Captain Peacock:
Hm?

Mr Lucas:
Captain Peacock. (Salutes to Captain Peacock and then gets back to work, but he accidentally touches the legs of Mrs. Slocombe)

Mrs Slocombe:
No!

Mr Lucas:
I'm-I'm sorry, Mrs. Slocombe, Captain Peacock told me to do it. I mean straighten them, I mean. Not yours, the dummies.

Mr Humphries:
Griffin wants you.

Mr Lucas:
Yes thank you. (to Mrs. Slocombe) I'm so sorry.
